Holy crap it's PAX 2014! Join and exhausted WillyFresh and Alex as they try to break down everything that happened to them on this annual weekend of all things exciting. Game announcements, Indie Mega booth, parties, costumes, interviews and, of course, the fans of it all are sure to blow your mind straight off your neck and onto your filthy, neglected bedroom floor.

This will be updated with a more traditional landing page as things are revealed, for now: the show.

And so Random Assault reached the end of their fabulous weekend at PAX East 2013. But as we all know, while the ride is fun, the clean up always takes the longest. So here we have the longest part of the special with more stories, more interviews, more of everything you came for from Cards Against Humanity, Dive Kick, Soda Drinker Pro, Gearbox, expensive shits and so much fucking more. Check it out and I hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we argued, exhausted and loathed bringing it to you.

It's that time of the year again and this time Random Assault is fucking press! Oh shit! So join us on our six hour coverage of Pax East 2013 filled with special guests of all statures and buckets of interviews! It's so damn big, we had to split it into three parts. Each part's going to cover a different day of PAX so check out all three. WELCOME TO FRIDAY!

Welcome back! This is part two of two for Random Assault's coverage of the Boston Festival of Indie games 2012. We wrap up everything we may have missed in the first part (that if you haven't listened to, you SHOULD.) Returning hosts Alex "Bloody Shadow" Cabral, Mela Firefly and Josh Zanelis, now with full stomachs (and better audio quality,) give you more news, more interviews and more stupid bullshit in between. Sit back and enjoy.

Welcome to the amazing world of the Boston Festival of Indie Games 2012. With a lot of promotion and hard work, this event was able to draw droves of indie fans to its open doors with the anticipation of indie games of all types. The event, although having been it's first year, did not disappoint and Random Assault was there to cover it and condese everything you need to know into a two-part podcast full of everything the event had to offer. Join your hosts Alex "Bloody Shadow" Cabral, Mela Firefly and newcomer (see: intern) Josh Zanelis as they present tens of games all with insights and interviews (all varying in length and audio quality.) Check it out.

Dustin Triplett joins us and Mitch stops by for the first half of the episode. Unfortunately for Willy Fresh, Mitch and David derail everything and jabber on about Rock Band Blitz and Kingdom Hearts 3D. Dustin shares his experience with Guild Wars 2 and we end the episode with a spoilerific discussion of The Walking Dead.

This week Willy Fresh joins us as our new regular host and we discuss everything that goes on in Josh's brain. David keeps jumping from game to game with no real goal or outcome. Willy hasn't played anything, but damn does he remember some Power Rangers.

The past few years have been incredible for a certain type of genre lovers. Point and click adventure games have made a beautiful resurgence and I have been in heaven. Now Cockroach Inc. has merged yet another thing I love with adventure games, claymation. The Dream Machine is a surreal and dark adventure through the world of dreams and every frame of it is painstakingly rendered in clay.

I’ve always been a fan of claymation. There’s something about its unique look that fascinates me regardless of how bad the actual final product is (Gumby). Yet, claymation is almost exclusively used to make content for children. The Dream Machine’s unique style is not only not made for children, but it is incredibly unsettling and almost off putting and works beautifully. Throughout the first three episodes, and I assume the yet to be released fourth and fifth, there is meant to be something dark and ominous looming and the art, most specifically the character design, helps create that sense of unease.
